Az is tapping into Indigenous Peoples knowledge of wildfires. Their cultural practices can help curb these deadly blazes. Tribes like The Apache have their own agencies that work in tandem with State and Federal agencies using a wholistic approach like cultural burning practices, carbon farming & planting native vegetation like berries and Manzanita shrubs. We can learn a lot from these ancient customs.

"We must protect the forests for our children and children yet to be born. We must protect the forests for those that cannot speak for themselves such as the birds, animals, fish and trees." Wise words. Wise article. Thank you. We should be listening.

Beautiful photos, Alex. I love the golden hour where everything is magical.

Achingly, devastatingly painful. And beautiful. Within the harsh contrasts, there must be hope.
